Toyota wants to use bitcoin tech to share self-driving car data

Sharing data will be important to the future of autonomous-car development, but it needs to be done in a safe, secure manner. Toyota thinks a blockchain can provide those benefits.

The Toyota Research Institute, a wholly owned subsidiary of the automaker, is working with MIT Media Lab and "other industry partners" to explore the idea of utilizing a blockchain to create a method for secure storage of data from self-driving cars.
